Answer 1

【答案】

【1】researchers

【2】getting

【3】a

【4】formed

【5】allows

【6】possibly

【7】friendly

【8】However

【9】it

【10】more

【解析】

【1】此处作主语，根据前一句提到visitors，故这里填researchers。

【2】此处of为介词，后面要跟动名词或名词形式，故填getting。

【3】句意：这可能听起来不方便，但这有一个隐藏的含义。meaning作“含义”讲是可数名词，所以前面缺冠词，不是特指，要用a。

【4】此句中缺谓语，应考虑时态、语态和主谓一致。根据上下文语境，时态是一般现在时，酒吧文化是被形成，故用被动语态，be动词用is 即可，故填is formed。

【5】此句中缺谓语，应考虑时态、语态和主谓一致。根据上下文语境，时态是一般现在时，语态应为主动，动名词作主语谓语动词用第三人称单数。故填allows。

【6】此处应该用副词作状语修饰整个句子。故填possibly。

【7】此处用来修饰名词talk，故用形容词friendly。

【8】根据语境可知，此处表达转折意义，且用逗号与其他的分开，故用however。句意：然而你不入乡随俗的话，你将一无所获。

【9】这里用it作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的不定式。

【10】根据后面的than提示，此处用比较级，故填more。
